But this is not the truth. The planets is benefic or malefic depends on the house ruler ship of the planets according to your ascendant.

Every planets rule different house according the ascendant and on the basis of that planets considered benefic and malefic.

In vedic astrology there are some house which is considered malefic and these houses are 6th, 8th and 12th, and depending on your ascendant these house rules by different planets and these planets considered malefic for that particular ascendant and they known as functional malefic planets because it does not matter whether they are benefic planets.

Every planets rules two signs in vedic astrology and have its mooltrikona signs which means the sign which is strong.
